Sunrise Is in Tritiya — Is That a Problem?
No. Karwa Chauth is decided by Chaturthi at moonrise, not at sunrise. On 18 October, Chaturthi begins at 5:51 PM and is present at moonrise (7:35 PM). On 19 October, Chaturthi ends at 4:42 PM, before moonrise. So the fast is on 18 October even though sunrise that day is still in Tritiya.
Puja Vidhi
- 1Eat sargi before sunrise and take the vow.
- 2Fast nirjala through the day.
- 3In the evening puja muhurat, worship Shiva-Parvati, Ganesha, Kartikeya and Karwa Mata; listen to the vrat katha.
- 4At moonrise, offer arghya to the moon, look through a sieve, and break the fast with water from the husband's hands.
What to Eat in Sargi
Have sargi before sunrise (6:23 AM in Delhi): pheni or vermicelli in milk, soaked almonds, walnuts and raisins, coconut water and fruits such as banana, apple and pomegranate, and a paratha or poha with curd. Keep salt, sugar, tea and coffee low — they increase thirst during a nirjala fast.
For First-Time Brides
Sargi and baya from the mother-in-law carry special meaning on the first Karwa Chauth. Solah shringar — especially red attire, bangles, sindoor and mehendi — is considered auspicious; customs vary by family and region.
What Is a Karwa?
A karwa is a spouted clay pot. Filled with water and grain, it is worshipped and used to offer arghya to the Moon, and is later gifted with the baya. Four days later, on Friday, 22 October 2027, mothers observe Ahoi Ashtami for their children.
Summary
Karwa Chauth 2027 is on Monday, 18 October; moonrise 7:35 PM (Delhi) and 7:45 PM (Jaipur).
